BHS
Welfare aims to prevent cases of cruelty and
neglect through education. This is achieved through
its network of welfare volunteers, advisory literature
(see below) on issues such as ragwort awareness,
and a team of experienced and dedicated staff
who handle all your enquiries.
The great experience of British Horse Society
Welfare volunteers enables the Society to respond
in an informed and sympathetic manner to reports
of equine suffering and neglect, giving advice
and guidance to horse owners on a wide range
of topics.
The majority of cases that our welfare volunteers
respond to involve neglect rather than cruelty.
Most cases can be resolved by educating horse
owners.
As well as responding to welfare concerns, BHS
Welfare lobbies government on a number of welfare-related
issues; runs campaigns including the Ragwort
Awareness Campaign; promotes responsible breeding
through its close link with the BHS
Horse and Pony Breeds Committee; works closely
with other welfare organisations, and monitors
the horses and ponies on the BHS's
Re-home Scheme.
